Jonathon Brooks Limited by Soreness Ahead of Week 1

Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks missed his third straight practice due to general soreness and has been working with trainers for nearly a week. Coach Dave Canales is monitoring his status for Sunday's opener against the Bears but remains hopeful he will be ready. Meanwhile, teammate Chuba Hubbard is trending as the healthier option in the backfield, with Canales noting that Hubbard looks fast and strong heading into the season.
